Description
The NOAA Tsunami Ready Program, administered by the Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, aims to reduce the risks associated with tsunamis in Alaska. The program leverages federal funds from the U.S. Department of Commerce to enhance tsunami mitigation and preparedness at the local, regional, and state levels. Key initiatives include the installation of tsunami warning communication systems, deployment of tsunami signage, development of inundation models, and provision of inundation maps and decision-support tools for Alaskan communities. The ultimate goal is to increase the state's resilience to tsunami threats through targeted community support.
